suitable songs for assemblies not just teachers

[LaBelleDameSansPatience]

Hi
Now that term is over I am sitting here planning for next term.
I need some suitable introductory songs for assemblies (usually show something from youtube as they settle down). It could be a hymn or a song, popular or not so much.
The ones I am struggling with at the moment are sons to fit in with 'hope' and 'fairtrade fortnight'. Have you any ideas?

Cookie Monster's 'share it maybe?'

Also, M People's What Have You Done Today is a popular choice in my school

When you wish upon a star
Stand by me
Help
What a wonderful world
Food Glorious Food

Is your school a member of singup? There are often really good ideas on there. You can search the song bank by subject.

Some great ideas - I really enjoyed them!
Now ... any brilliant ideas about temptation or forgiveness?

Heaven by Eric Clapton
Sing- Gary Barlow
Electricity from Billy Elliot
From a distance- Bette Midler (Very thoughtful words)
Bridge over troubled water
Love can build a bridge
Love Shine a light
Catch a falling star
With a little help from my friends
Feed the World- Michael Jackson
Colours of the Wind From Pocahontas (amazing words)
Up on the roof

Am a primary music co-ordinator!

If you want songs on a particular theme try Out of the Ark- Songs for Every (Season, Day, Body Assembly etc.)series.

I can also recommend "Sing Up"- an amazing free resource.

I'm glad I don't teach in your schools! I'd be in floods every assembly! From A Distance?! Waaaiiiilllll!!!!

Sing up is great, however it is no longer free

Great ideas - going through them one by one on youtube. Thank you.
